Developmental Changes of Immunity and Different Responses to Weaning Stress of Chinese Indigenous Piglets and Duroc Piglets during Suckling and Weaning Periods. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2022 To investigate developmental changes in immunity and different responses to weaning stress of piglets from different breeds during suckling and weaning periods, a total of 30 litters of Taoyuan black (TB) piglets, Xiangcun black (XB) piglets, and Duroc ...

Early life feeding accelerates gut microbiome maturation and suppresses acute post-weaning stress in piglets. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol, 2021 Summary Early life microbiome perturbations can have important effects on host development, physiology and behaviour. In this longitudinal study, we evaluated the impact of early feeding on gut microbiome colonization in neonatal piglets.

Early-Life Intervention Using Exogenous Fecal Microbiota Alleviates Gut Injury and Reduce Inflammation Caused by Weaning Stress in Piglets. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2021 Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) could shape the structure of intestinal microbiota in animals. This study was conducted to explore the changes that happen in the structure and function of microbiota caused by weaning stress, and whether early-life

Dietary Fiber-Derived Butyrate Alleviates Piglet Weaning Stress by Modulating the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB Pathway. [PDF]
NutrientsDuring weaning, piglets are susceptible to intestinal inflammation and impairment in barrier function. Dietary fiber (DF) plays an active role in alleviating weaning stress in piglets.

Weaning Stress Aggravates Defense Response and the Burden of Protein Metabolism in Low-Birth-Weight Piglets [PDF]
AnimalsThe effect of low birth weight (LBW) on piglet development has been widely demonstrated. However, the reasons for the significant decline in the growth performance of LBW piglets after weaning remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the

Glucuronolactone Restores the Intestinal Barrier and Redox Balance Partly Through the Nrf2/Akt/FOXO1 Pathway to Alleviate Weaning Stress-Induced Intestinal Dysfunction in Piglets. [PDF]
Antioxidants (Basel)(1) Background: Glucuronolactone (GLU) is a glucose metabolite with antioxidant activity. At present, the exact role of it in regulating the intestinal health of piglets under weaning stress is not clear.

Effects of varying dietary folic acid during weaning stress of piglets. [PDF]
Anim Nutr, 2021 The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary folic acid on the growth performance, intestinal morphology, and intestinal epithelial cells renewal in post-weaning piglets. Twenty-eight piglets (weaned at day 21, initial body weight of

Association between weaning stress and rumen microbiota in goat kids: evidence from granger causality and randomized controlled trial validation [PDF]
Animal BioscienceObjective Although there is some evidence linking weaning stress to altered gut flora and stunted development, the exact nature of this relationship is still up for debate.
